Match Thread FC Ufa 1 (1) v Rangers 1 (2) - 15:00 Thursday - Rangers TV UK & Abroad

[DJ Blue]

What exactly did he do,? my link went off when he made the challenge then it came back and he was given another yellow and a red.

Booted the ball away after the foul was given against him

Dissent to the Ref.

A decent ref would have warned him and crooked ref would send him off.

 

[BlueRidgeBear]

This has the makings of the Motherwell game written all over it. We're going to endure another half of constant pressure while not being able to play our usual passing game. It will be punts up the park followed by another wave of attack from them.

As soft as the card was, I'm raging with Morelos. Absolutely needless.

 

[Leif Erikson]

Maybe my stream went dodgy at the time of the red card, but it seemed that Morelos' "dissent" was him just raising his arm in the air towards the ref.

Is that all that happened?

kicked the ball away and then dissent i think

 

[Rudolph Hucker]

Looks like Morelos has learned absolutely nothing from Pittodrie. Don’t give the officials a sniff of an excuse to book you. Yes, it’s tough but that’s why you’re paid the big bucks. No matter how talented you are and no matter how dubious your bookings are, you can’t influence the game from the dressing room. Grow up and learn quickly or get out.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

I agree Morelos was stupid and I agree he needs a rocket.

But there is no way he deserved to be sent off for that incident.

He kicked the ball away, yellow card.
But the second yellow was for dissent that happens every 5 minutes every week.

A FACT that seems to be being missed by almost everyone on here!

 

[cooperno.7]

The 2nd yellow from the ref was a nonsense but Morelos' petulance is costing us far too often.

I'd keep him on the bench against the tims as they'll wind him up and he's too much of a risk.

 

[JD1872]

We need to do something on that left side, flanigan needs support

 

[madride]

I’ve seen players tell refs to F off, refuse to walk over to them and nothing happens.

Just cause Morelos has a poor attitude doesn’t excuse a ridiculous decision

 

[Chastu]

hold hold

 

[Prestwick Bear]

Not looking forward to the upcoming 45 minutes. Nerves are shredded.

 

[Ingleneuk]

Lets get it straight here.

1. There is clearly something dodgy about the refs. Happened in this game and the home leg. I'd assume they have been bought

2. The team will know something dodgy is going on, so they should be giving away NOTHING. No big lunges in the box, no 50/50s, and certainly no giving the refs an excuse to send you off by arguing

Grow up.

 

[Superrangers]

He has.

Read some of the things the lad has been called.

Shameful from so called Bears.

Personal insults are wrong but the guy does lack a bit of maturity when it comes to officialdom. Hopefully Gerrard really goes to town on him and then knocks it out of him.

 

[Sparklehorse Loyal]

What exactly did he do,? my link went off when he made the challenge then it came back and he was given another yellow and a red.

Kicked the ball away then gave the ref a mouthful then continued to give him another mouthful . Stupid red card and he needs to calm down he has let his team-mates down big style

 

[William Munny]

We are getting pumped here. If this was the mentally challengeds we'd be at least 3 or 4 down. Shambles at the back.

Hahaha it'll soon be sunday and we'll see son

 

[remembertheepoch]

One, was two yellows

Cards are reset for group

 

[leerfc54]

Out tonight and lose on Sunday our season is over with 4 games in.

Please somehow just get through this tonight Rangers!

These officials in the last two games have made Scottish refs look competent.

Wild mate.

Blatant corruption.

 

[kensington blue nose]

If we go out, fine him the absolute maximum allowed.

Twice.

 

[Bighuggybear]

Think we need to score again,sure the gaffer will give Flannigan more support get isolated against two men.

 

[Cooper_11]

We are still in control of the tie,we will go through.

I hope to feck you’re right mate, but they just missed a sitter on the stroke of half time and we’re all over the place. I’m not confident at all now, mainly due to Morelos’ stupidity.

 

[derbybear]

Was that goal not offside??

Tav may have been playing him on

 

[deacon2112]

Kicking the ball away is a yellow.

Dissent is a yellow.

This,know the rules folks.

 

[Kaiserweiss]

Gutted for Alfie

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

The rest of the team should go through him for that. Let he know it's them he's leaving in the shit because of his attitude. Also his dream move of the EPL is on thin ice if he can't be relied upon. Silly wee boy antics.

 

[themightyi]

This nonsense is embarrassing.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

He kicked the ball away, yellow card.
But the second yellow was for dissent that happens every 5 minutes every week.

Same with ref at home - fucking dodgy bxxxxxxs the Russians

 

[worcester bear]

Fking Jar Jar Binks on RTV!!!

 

[Arminius]

We have had no joy from a truly garbage refereeing crew first half.

Their equalising goal is clearly offside. The linesman has to get that right.

The foul given against Morelos wasn't even a foul, but kicking the ball away in petulance is just daft. So, deserved yellow.

However, a wee wave of his arm does not warrant another yellow. That is ridiculous.

 

[dynamo_rosco]

How's he not on the park then?

Misdirected frustration much?

 

[Gerrard55]

Morelos is a fucking arsehole, he needs chased if we lose this tie cos of him

 

[Barbarossa]

Flanagan is having a mare

Morelos red was a joke

 

[Deek]

Cards are reset for group

Not if you’re sent off surely?

 

[Coplandfrontier]

Poor decision making and poor game management have been prominent in most of our games . This aswell as poor discipline is costing us big time .

 

[Nightman]

99% of refs don't give a second yellow there. Unfortunately we have the 1% that does. I'm a huge Morelos fan but he needs to be a lot smarter than that. Speak to the ref, take the yellow and walk away.

 

[BobbyShearer]

it was odd the ref flashed the yellow at him twice during the same stoppage in play for dissent?

I've never seen that before.

Exactly.
Not exactly smart stuff from the boy but to have him drawn and quartered for a highly unusual situation where the ref couldn’t wait is overly harsh for me here.

 

[Installer]

No chance was that a foul. It’s not basketball ffs. You are allowed to put your shoulder to shoulder like he did. The ref gave a shit free kick then rightly booked Morelos for dissent but I have NEVER seen a player done for dissent then booked instantly again for back chatting. Ridiculous red.

Then their goal was the easiest offside of all time to see.

We have been shafted over two legs versus this lot. Russians never play with a fair deck so can’t say I’m surprised.

He never got sent off for the foul, he got sent off for being a dissent.

Tav played them both onside. face reality.

 

[Ardgowan_Bear]

So far in this tie we have had 2 penalties not given, an offside goal for the opposition and a soft looking red.

First leg ref looked like he was on "incentives"

 

[Nerf Herder]

This second half is going to be murderous.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

There is going to be all sorts of shenanigans in the second half.

I will not be surprised if we get another red and a penalty against us.

 

[broxi_bear83]

Ok regroup at half time and don’t concede 2 goals, I’d happily take an away goal route the the group stages if that’s what’s needed, let’s go stevies warriors

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

Another bought ref.
Never seen 2 yellows dished out like that.
Not even for a foul and decent.

What constitutes an act of decent.
Of I punch the ground twice, is that 2 yellows?

No. It isn't.
This is a través. By a thick ref. The two fouls against Rangers in the first 15 SECONDS prove that.

Cheating bastards.

HEAD UP BÚFALO.

He was booked for kicking the ball away and then for gobbing off at the ref. 100% self inflicted wound in a game we should have been cruising. An early goal and we are in real bother. 10 men forced to sit deep and we are in real bother. We are in the box seat but this tie could get away from us if we do not play smart. Morelos was not smart.

 

[govwalker]

Every single player in the world moans at a referee after getting booked for a soft foul.

Corrupt as %^*& never in a million years should there be a second yellow.

Unbelievable.

No offence but that's utter bollocks.

Booked for booting the ball away, then refused to go to the referee when asked so he could get booked and then the third thing obviously said something to him.

Hardly cheating or corrupt.

He gave the ref no choice.

An absolute liability at times.

If we go out his selfish behaviour will have cost us millions of ££s.

Balls should be booted from there to Govan.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

A lot of people going to look stupid reading their comments since the red back later.

 

[DavieC1953]

Morelos is a craking CF but he is petulant as f*ck and needs a boot up the arse to straighten him out.

 

[Ronniemca]

Thought. This guy. Arfield was supposed to be a competitive midfielder.? He's done absolutely nothing but wave his hands about as if he's Peter Grant.

 

[lorenzoamoruso]

I don’t rate the guy at all. Huff and puffs and thinks he is something special. Would be happy never to see him in a Rangers jersey again.

Laughable. Do you remember who we had up front even 2 years ago?

 

[E10H]

Mate, he has let us down here. There is no other way to look at it. Completely unnecessary.

Harsh red.

He has allowed that to happen, not excusing him.

Read some of the shit said about the lad, it's horrific.

The Russians need 2 without conceding.

We will do this with 10.

 

[Bolton Bear]

i really should steer clear of matchday threads in the bear pit, terrible place to be...if its not infiltration its downright drama queens, enjoy the game Bears

 

[the_glorious_12th]

We need someone to help Flanagan in there, he's having a 'mare.

Definitely the worst we've seen him.

He's playing like he's drunk.

 

[brotherkoba]

Just sell him to the Chinese for £10 million and reinvest in a couple of established quality players. This will not be the last controversy, tantrum, or completely stupid action on Morelos's part - I would wager another incident in the near future. Cut our losses, pocket the £10 million and move on.
